We have been looking at many photographers for our wedding and as soon as we saw Robert's portfolio we were sure to choose his services. The quality of the pictures and his refined taste immediately resonated with us. Maybe even more important is how Robert takes the pictures. He has this cheerful engaging attitude that makes anyone want to pose for him. Professional and easygoing, Robert got us quickly through all the different angles and guest combinations so we could promptly return to celebrating this special day. He then became practically invisible getting the job done and in the end delivered a multitude of amazing professional shots of everyone and everything: the guests, the venue, the decorations, and the food. He was able to capture in a flattering light all the amazing moments of everyone just being themselves and celebrating with us. Robert gave us a preview of the pictures shortly after the wedding and then delivered the rest within a few short weeks. We feel lucky that we crossed our paths with such an amazing photographer and a great person. Thank you, Robert! read more

The absolute best photographer! He definitely wowed us with our engagement pictures. Then our wedding photos came and absolutely blew us away! His love for capturing beautiful weddings is immediately recognized as soon as you set eyes on his photos. His attention to detail is pristine and untouched. Not one things is left out. Going through these photos brought out each and every wonderful emotion we felt throughout our wedding day and it felt as though we were reliving it. He was so helpful when it came to backgrounds and posing and cake cutting because we clearly had no idea what we were doing. As we finished dinner he approached us with a gorgeous photo of the sunset and asked us to sneak away to get some photos. Let me tell you these ended up being both mine and my husbands absolute favorite photos. He even went as far as using his own lighting for our guests who were trying to get photos with us once it became dark. Our experience with Robert was so amazing it felt as though we were being photographed by a dear friend. read more

Robert was so professional and easy to work with! He is responsive, considerate, experienced, and extremely patient. I loved seeing all the details in our wedding photos and he was able to capture the story of the entire night. For someone who does not know how to pose and is an awkward picture taker, he made the process so easy for us by offering advice on what looks best and natural. He is passionate about his work and delivers quality results. I highly recommend him and could have not asked for a better photographer. Thank you for understanding our vision and helping us create a memorable night, Robert! read more

Everything I could have hoped for and more! Robert was absolutely wonderful! He put me (an awkward photo taker) at ease and captured some fantastic photos from our day. He was personable and professional. He was very responsive in the pre-wedding, day of, and post-wedding process. He was flexible in our last minute request to upgrade our package to include a first look, which we are so glad we did. He even put up with our two rowdy dogs! Do not be fooled by his low prices - the quality is amazing. I would highly recommend McBride Photos!! read more

Robert was a great photographer for our wedding. He was very accommodating and patient. He helped us work through our long list of photos we wanted to capture and even climbed a ladder to take a giant group photo! As awkward photo people, we felt at ease under his direction for our couples shoot and the results really showed it. He was detail oriented and made sure that everyone was looking their best. We appreciate the work he did at our wedding and all the photos he delivered after and couldn't recommend him more. read more

Robert was AMAZING!!! He was so organized and ready to go. Most of the time I didn't even notice he was there taking pictures, yet he got the best absolute pictures. He was always very responsive and informative when I had a question. His photography skills are out of this world. I have gotten so many compliments on our photos. He also had a very fast turn around time in getting the pictures back to us. I would recommend McBride Photography to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion.

We just had Robert as our photographer for our wedding this past weekend and I couldn't wait to leave a review. Robert has an eye for what he does and is so easy and nice to work with. We had a blast having him shoot for our wedding and even got a couple shots sent to us that night. So far the first photos we've seen have been breath taking and it's all thanks to him. We can't wait to see the rest and hope to work with him again in the future for some family photos when the time comes! Thank you so much Robert for photographing our wedding- we feel so lucky!!! read more

I'm not the most patient person when it comes to having my picture taken but I must tell you, Robert made the experience actually pretty enjoyable. It was 106 degrees and we were married outdoors with a bunch of kids and grandkids running around. He managed it all like a real professional. And the end result are some of the greatest pictures we could have ever hoped for. Don't hesitate to put your trust in him. He really is very good. read more

Robert is truly one of a kind. We loved working with him and we are very lucky to have found him! He was very helpful from the beginning up to the end. He recommended the best spots to use for our engagement photos and was able to work with us and our furry babies! He didn't mind that we took our parents with us too and followed us around the whole day. He even offered to meet us halfway since we are at least 2 hours away from where he lives and we had furry babies with us but we couldn't make him drive too far on Super Bowl Sunday! Yes, he didn't even mind that we picked that day to do our photoshoot! Truly professional. :) On our wedding day he showed up early to scope down the place and didn't even need an assistant to get all the 'getting ready' shots he needed. He's always so positive and gave us compliments and great pointers when working with us. He also worked very diligently with our 2 videographers even though they have not worked or met with each other before! We received our photos 3 weeks from our wedding day and we absolutely adore every single one of the images. He made our wedding day so special by capturing all the beautiful memories. Looking at the images makes me want to do the whole thing over again! If you need an affordable, stress-free experience with THE BEST results, Robert is your guy! You will not regret it. :) read more

Robert was amazing to work with! His pricing is great, which honestly worried me a bit. After meeting with him & sitting down together getting to know each other, I knew we were going to have amazing photos! Photography is his hobby, not his job. He loves what he does, and puts a lot of effort & creativity to it! I have over 1,000 photos that are all amazing and show so much character. He was able to photograph my huge family in different groupings, focus on our one on one photos, and captured amazing candid photos of guests enjoying the evening. He got every single photo I said was most important to me, and always made sure I got photos with who I wanted. He is full of energy, and always moving around. His wife helped him photograph for a couple hours and she did amazing as well. I can't wait to fill my scrapbook with all of these amazing photos! read more

Robert was the most perfect photographer for our wedding! He knew exactly what we wanted for our special day. He never felt intrusive or demanding, but rather quite the opposite! He was efficient as he understood time was limited and he even looked like he was having a good time! His photographs are absolutely stunning and I am so thankful we hired Robert for the big day. H was truly a pleasure to work with! Highly recommend! read more

Robert was the best photographer we could have asked for! He is super sweet and down to earth, which lends him to be great with customer service while providing gorgeous pictures of your special day. Robert was super flexible when we had to move our wedding up by 6 months and switched to a week day. He was very kind and understanding as we needed to change packages and venue as well. I was nervous about only getting one photographer, but Robert delivered over 1500 photos during a 5 hour wedding! He stayed a bit extra to make sure and capture my father daughter dance which was scheduled past his leave time. He captured the cutest moments of my husband and I as we read our vows and also got the crowds' reaction. He picked out some really sweet poses and beautiful locations at our venue to get great pics. Our other vendors complimented us on how much of a pleasure he is to work with, which is great for running a smooth event. Robert truly adores weddings, often reminiscing about his own or speaking fondly of his daughter's wedding. You can see his passion for photography and love of weddings in our photos. I'm so happy we decided to work with Robert for our big day. He captured the photos we wanted while keeping us on budget. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a kind and talented photographer who will be genuinely happy to be at your special day. read more

Robert and his wife were absolutely amazing! Communication with Robert was a breeze, he always responded right away. He made sure to get the timeline for the day of in advance and really stuck to it, which I greatly appreciated. They were there on time, took incredible shots and captured the greatest moments. I would highly recommend Robert to any couple looking for a photographer for engagement or wedding photos. Can't forget to mention, his prices and quality are unbeatable! We will definitely be reaching out to him for family photos in the future. Highly recommend! read more

Robert was very easy to work with and very professional. He arrived on time and was able to take care of the traditional wedding photos (gown, rings, cake, etc.) while my bridesmaids and I were still getting ready. Robert captured great memories for us and I seriously cried looking through them. He got a lot of pictures of our guests, which I absolutely loved because I loved seeing people enjoying themselves. My all-time favorite photo was one that he got of my son with my brother. It seriously looked like a photo for an ad or a magazine. My husband and I picked the package that included 2 locations. Unfortunately, we weren't able to take bridal photos off-site as anticipated (bride's fault!! I was running late) and Robert told me he would gladly do a shoot for us another time to make up for it. We are super grateful!! We didn't expect that. I would def. recommend Robert to anyone who is a fan of quality for a reasonable price!! :) He was amazing! read more

I am so so pleased with my photos! I booked him for my wedding on 11/8 and already received my sneak peek pictures! They are all gorgeous and Robert was so courteous and flexible with everything we wanted. My family and my in laws even commented on how good he was! So so pleased with the pictures and so thankful for him! read more

I couldn't of asked for a better photographer, Robert was very professional and was able to capture my special day in such a beautiful way. Every picture tells a story and I can feel the love and laughter through my photos. Due to the fires we had some smoke in the air but you couldn't even tell in the photos. Not only were the photos amazing but he go them to me in lightning speed. I got married on September 12th and I already have the photos in all their glory. Only thing I wish is that I had him there for even longer. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding you have come to the right place Robert is well worth every penny. read more

My fiancé and I have never experienced a photoshoot! We were both excited to take photos on the beach for our save the dates but also felt nervous. Robert made us feel so incredibly comfortable that we felt like ourselves! I can't say enough about how much fun we had. His talent truly captured all the heart felt moments- Our photos speak for themselves. Thank you so much and can't wait to work with you soon! Mahalo! read more

I discovered Mcbride Pictures only 2 months before my wedding. When I checked Robert's portfolio I assumed he too would be out of my price range. When I saw his package prices I couldn't believe it, such a steal for such beautiful quality photos! I booked Robert a.s.a.p after speaking to him on the phone for the first time. He was so kind and helpful in assisting me to choose a package and explaining how everything worked. Robert showed up in a timely manner and got straight to work! He was so friendly and I have the most amazing wedding photos! He captured beautiful posed photos as well as great candid shots; all that we will treasure for years to come! I 100% recommend Mcbride Pictures for your wedding photographer! read more

McBride Pictures - Event Photography Near Me

Robert McBride completely exceeded all of our expectations and some! The pictures came out AWESOME. He did a fantastic job capturing real moments as well as getting the classic photos. We had a residential backyard wedding and McBride hid the eye sores in the landscape well! We gave him little to no direction and he made sure to cover all of the requests we did have. He helped in so many ways to ensure our day went smooth, it is obvious that he cares a lot about his clients and truly enjoys what he does. Right before our ceremony, our microphone battery died and in seconds he lent us his extra battery!! He is patient, helpful, assertive when needed to capture those moments, quick on his feet and just a cool person to have around. He is professional and very experienced in photographing weddings. We recommend him with the highest regard. Thank you for your help in making our day and our pictures PERFECT!!!! read more

We hired Robert McBride for our Jan 23rd wedding in Placerville. He did a wonderful job. Not only is he polite and so helpful with his wedding knowledge, but my daughter was particularly impressed with how many photos of the guests he was able to capture so she could see every moment of her special day. I would definitely recommend McBride Pictures as they are reliable, affordable, talented, and a pleasure to work with. read more

Robert is a true professional and a great pleasure to work with! His pricing is very reasonable per the amazing services and quality photos we received. It was awesome to see him spot beautiful locations and scenery in areas we would normally overlook. His passion for photography is fun to watch and be a part of. The turnaround was quick and the photos turned out beyond perfect--which made it very difficult for us to choose just one photo for our Save the Date cards! We look forward to working with him again very soon! read more

My Husband I are so pleased you got to work with Robert!! He did our maternity shoot for our first baby. He made it so stress fee and fun! We did our shoot at Gibson Ranch, Roberts suggestion it was so green and such a great place to take outdoors photos! Lots of different options to shoot picture. He knew all the good angles on a pregnant woman and made me feel beautiful during the shoot, my husband looked great as well! he took great posed shoots, a candid ones as well. Candid's are my favorite. He was very patient with us and very accommodating during the shoot. My husband and i didn't have to think about anything during the shoot he knows his stuff. We got our pictures back for viewing about a week after the shoot was done!! So fast!! They are so beautiful, clear, and top notch quality. I would 100% recommend him to anyone! He can do it all!! we cant wait to get all the printing done. :) read more

Absolutely wonderful! Robert was such a pleasure to work with, he did such an amazing job capturing our special day. I absolutely LOVE my photos. He is punctual, professional, and very talented. He is easy to work with and and has great communication. I even got compliments from our guests about how proactive he was but also hardly knew he was there. We have so many good photos to choose from, we cannot be happier! Thank you! read more

Working with Robert was an amazing experience! We found him on Wedding Wire after tirelessly searching for photographers who were both incredible and fit our budget. When we came across Robert, we were certain we had made a mistake because his photos were beautiful and he was well within our budget. After reaching out to him, we learned that we hadn't made a mistake, we were just lucky! We booked him right away. Robert is extremely knowledgeable about ceremony start times for getting the best photos possible and he is flexible with his approach, meaning he is more than willing to consult with you to find out your individual vision so he can bring that to life for you. He asked us to share our Pinterest board with him so he could see the types of photos we liked, and then the day of, he totally incorporated those photos into his shot list. Even more, he was extremely mindful of the timeline I sent him, which was great because I was scatterbrained the day of my wedding (all brides are), so it was nice to have someone gently reminding us of time frames. Also, all of our wedding guests plus the venue staff loved him because he's so easy to work with. We just got our photos back (it only took 3 weeks) and they are absolutely beautiful. We are so happy to have found Robert; he will definitely be our go-to photographer for all of the big moments in our lives. Don't hesitate, book him now! read more

Robert did an exceptional job with our wedding photos. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! I highly recommend him for any photographer job that you may need. He made my day easy and took care of all my worries with the photos. The price was great but the quality of photos was even better! read more

Robert went above and beyond on providing beautiful pictures as well as professional service. My husband and I do not live in California, so all our communication was via emails and texting. Every message I sent was responded to within the same day. Robert was a ninja at the wedding! He captured beautiful moments that I didn't even see! After the wedding, I had many guest complimenting on how much they enjoyed Robert. I highly recommend his services to anyone who wants beautiful pictures to remember forever! read more

Robert did an excellent job and I couldn't be happier! I needed Head Shots for my 16 year old son who needed to have professional shots for auditions. I wanted them kind of quickly and he was super accommodating about setting up a time in less than a week. He had us meet him in Old Folsom because he said he knew spots for good backgrounds and lighting. I was surprised at the place he found that was tucked away from people, but that gave the photos just the right feel! Mostly, though, I had no idea my son could be that photogenic! He brought out the best in him and that is not always easy with a teenager! Both me and my son felt super comfortable with him and will use him in the future! read more

He hired Robert for our wedding at Vizcaya which took place May 2017. From the moment we made initial contact with Robert, he was very professional, he listened to what we were looking for and he also made some suggestions as far as what type of pictures to get and the best spots to take them. From the moment we fist contacted him which was about a year and a half before our wedding, he responded to our emails and texts in a timely manner. The day of the wedding , Robert arrived early and he was a man on a mission, to get us as many great pictures as he could during the entire time from getting prepared for the ceremony and thereafter. Robert took pictures of just about every important detail, dress, rings, shoes, flowers, venue and of course us and our families and wedding party. When the pictures became available, we were not only amazed by the quality of shots but the clarity of them . Robert captured exactly what we envisioned. Words can not describe how happy we were with his professionalism and quality of work Erick and Vanessa read more

First off, I was a bride on a budget and didn't wanna spend thousands for just pictures, so after shopping around I found Robert. His prices were great and I loved what I saw in his portfolio already. I will say I was a little nervous, because I didn't hear much from him til maybe a week or so before the wedding. But we got in touch, and after a conversation on the phone I felt super comfortable with him, and had confidence it was going to go well. Robert and his wife were very nice and had cool ideas, yet still valued my opinion in what I wanted my pictures to look like. My experience was great! And my picture were beyond what I expected! I'd hire him again if I ever need this kind of service again, and obviously I'd recommend to anyone I know! I'm so happy, and have picture I will cherish for a life time. read more

I would highly recommend Robert to do anyone's wedding. We didn't provide him with a lot of direction, but he was able to take the photos we wanted/needed. There are no regrets because he didn't miss anything. read more

Robert is amazing. If you want an affordable wedding photographer who is professional, fast at answering all questions, has great communication skills, honest, captures every amazing moment of your wedding, and helps guide you stress-free as a photographer should do on your big day, then he is the guy for you. He made my whole wedding experience wonderful, and caught every since special moment and more. He not only gave me sneak peeks of the photos he took the morning after my wedding, but he gave me all my breath taking wedding photos with in the month after my wedding. Not only did all the my guest say what a wonderful photographer was because he was so on top of it, but once they saw our pictures they even praised him more. I would recommend Robert in a heartbeat to any couple who is getting married and looking for a photographer. When I received my wedding photos and looking through them the first time all the emotions of my wedding day came back and I am so grateful we had chosen Robert to capture our big day. He really is passionate about his work, and you can see that not only talking to him but also looking your pictures. read more

Robert was the first vendor (after the venue) that we nailed down! Immediately after looking at his website my husband and I decided he was the one! He replied to our emails and texts so promptly from the very beginning! He fit our photography aesthetic that we were looking for! On the day of the wedding he was on time and very professional my whole family complimented how nice he was and how prepared he was! I have a large family so family pictures with lots of kids were a must! He came through for us in every way possible! Please check his work out! Even his prices are great! We loved his pictures and service and were very lucky to have him there with us! He was one of the few vendors that was not hard to track down and I was worry free for the whole time! I was lucky that it didn't rain on my wedding day but even if it had I'm sure he would have been prepared he's that good! We got our pictures back faster than we thought we would! (Talking less than a month) everyone was so surprised he was so quick! We love our pictures! Thank you Robert! read more

We had Robert as our photographer at our wedding at Taber Ranch late June and he was amazing!!! Loved how the photos turned out and he was great to work with! The price was perfect and we got exactly what we wanted! Would highly recommend! read more

Robert did a great job shooting my senior photos for college graduation. He was open to all different ideas and very patient. He took his time to get things right and was very fast to get pictures back to me. (He sent me sneak peak pics the same night!) He made it very easy to set a day and time. He is definitely a great photographer and takes pride in his work. read more

We absolutely loved working with Robert! He was very concerned about making sure we got everything that we wanted and gave us more than we possibly could have expected for the price. Robert's work is incredible--he does both candid and posed photos and shooting with him felt very natural as he gives great direction and you can really tell that he loves what he does. In addition to photos at our ceremony and reception sites, Robert let us pick out a place in the woods where we wanted to do another shoot. We received almost 2000 photos from him that we can go through whenever we want and print as many times as we want, and I love every single one of them. Robert is extremely professional and the friendliest guy, and he really took into consideration our input--even telling us we could put together a Pinterest board of ideas and a shot list so that he could make sure we got everything that we wanted. Our wedding day was probably the hottest day of the summer, it was over 108 degrees at our ceremony location and no matter how miserable he had to have been wearing all black he did not in any way try to rush us through our photos! We would definitely recommend him to any and everyone around, there is no one better! read more

My husband and I got married on May 26, 2018, and we are so happy that we used Robert as our photographer! When I first emailed him for more information, I wanted to see even more photos than what's on his website... so he sent me the link to his online portfolio. His pricing is so good and reasonable that we started wondering if there is a catch. Photos were the most important vendor to us in the wedding, and we wanted to make sure to get someone good. But when we met Robert in person, he explained that he does photography because he loves it, but not because he needs the money (he has a different full time career). He was professional right from the start and we decided to book him. It felt like we might be taking a risk since we didn't know anyone who had used him, but his online reviews were good and he's won awards! Plus, we had a very good vibe from the beginning. The photography package includes an engagement session, which was great because we were able to get comfortable in front of the camera and get used to Robert. He made it fun and easy, and was more concerned about us getting good photos than about the time. And the pics were gorgeous! We loved how everything turned out! That also made us feel even more sure that we were going to get good wedding photos. Robert was always good about communicating back when I had any questions, and it was easy to come up with the photography schedule for the day of the wedding. I didn't really know where to begin, so he provided most of it and then we made some small adjustments for what was best for my husband and I. Robert was very flexible with whatever we asked, and helpful when we needed some ideas. Because we chose to do a first look and take photos before the ceremony, it was going to end up being a longer day for Robert... but he never complained. He even agreed to stay an hour longer than we originally thought. The day of the wedding, Robert arrived on time and took photos of my dress, the rings, and other details... before taking pictures of me and my girls getting ready. Luckily he has lots of good ideas for poses, because we had no idea what to do (haha). We felt very comfortable around him. He was able to easily go back-and-forth to the men's room and our room without needing a second photographer. The first look, photos with the bridal party, etc. all went very smooth and we had fun. Our bridal party commented on this as well, and it was nice that Robert helped us feel relaxed. When we all went back to the rooms to wait until the ceremony, Robert took photos of all of our decorations in the ceremony and reception areas, as well as guests arriving. During the actual ceremony itself I didn't even really notice him around, but he did take quite a lot of photos (so he was there but not distracting). During the reception he was also always around for any impromptu photos we might've wanted. Robert got our photos back to us within a month, which was amazing! And he gave us all of the ones that he took! We were so excited to see them and I've heard of friends' photos taking 3 to 4 months or more, so we were excited to get to see them so soon! :-) He let us know that we can ask for any editing changes, and we did ask for a few, which he gladly did. There were some that I thought weren't as "sharp" as they should be, but Robert did everything he could to make sure that we were completely satisfied. And we are! We are very glad that we used McBride Pictures as our photographer! I am sure that we will use him the next time we have a special moment we want to capture. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions. read more
